Needed a hotel, for a one night stay, in the area Yes, as you would expect for a budget hotel, its tatty. Very hospitable staff and the breakfast was BETTER QUALITY than most of the many 4/5 star hotels I've stayed in Not a place to impress a loved one but ideal for practicality, good discreet parking

We stayed at the hotel for three nights. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good. However, the hotel could do with some refurbishment.
